Don't know if you'll see this but I fell in love with your MTBAF fic and wanted to see if you're okay since your AO3 page hasn't updated in a long time. You are a talented writer, wishing you well 💗💗💗
Thank you very much! I am still around, I'm just not actively writing - my life got busy, and my muse ran away from me. I still get a lot of really nice comments on my fics, and I do read every one even if I don't reply much anymore. :)

Idea:
BruSlade where Slade courts Bruce by bringing him children.
He's done it, he's cracked the code.
Accidental-co-parents-to-lovers is one of the funniest pipelines and I love to see it. 😆

Romi's megafic?
I’m referencing the More to Being a Father than Having a Kid Series by @/Romiress which is currently over 1.2 million words and still growing. 
It takes place in the Arkham Verse and is frankly amazing. Give it a read!

Hey, I love readying your work! Sadly I haven’t been able to read much of it lately, but I just wanted to know what the sexual orientation of the bat family was? Thanks!
Oh man, honestly I was thinking ‘didn’t I already answer this?’ but then realized that... no! I have a note in one of my files but it was never public. Some are a bit nebulous or weren’t actually defined, so here we go, in order of age.
Alfred: AsexualThomas: HeterosexualSlade: HomosexualWill: Bisexual, but largely leans womenBruce: Demisexual / Bisexual and still very much questioningDick: PansexualTim: HeterosexualJason: BisexualJoey: Canon Bi/Pan (Referred to as Bi a few times, but his description sounds very in line with Pan)Roy: HomosexualCass: QuestioningTanya: HeterosexualDamian: HeterosexualThat’s the sexuality as they’d identify, if you were to ask. Cass, for example, would shrug and say she has no idea. Bruce would mysteriously drop his papers to keep from having to pick out an actual term, and oops, he’s got a phone call to make.

@nazhrim replied: Me after following MTBAF for 1.4 million words. Its weird when it ends, especially when its been a habit to read it and follow it. It passes though! And you can go back and re-read without feeling sad that its over eventually
Yeah, that’s true! It all feels so strange, and it’s good to know that it’s still there.

My MTBAF OTP, for anyone reading that.
Understand My Ship in 5 Minutes
So I had too much fund with the last one and and wanted to do one of these for other ships. This was next on my list so I had to edit the original template to allow for OT3’s (even though OT stand for “One True” and I don’t have One True ships because I love them all).
Anywho, have an OT3 version.

Some notes:
There is no canon height for Apollo so I guessed based on how much bigger than Midnighter he is in The Authority because my preference is white, flowy hair > blond
Apollo is also probably slightly more introverted than I made him but he has amazing social skills to make up for it.
Midnighter and Apollo show affection through words and actions. They are infinitely better at communication than any Bat. They are also extremely patient as Jason unlearn Bat-standard repression.
Apollo puts every bug back outside, in a place that suits it’s needs. Midnighter would but he’s deathly afraid of spiders and his fight computer registers them as threats. He’s squashed them before he even realizes he’s seen one 😔 Jason, just like in the last one, saves bees (and cute bugs like rolly-pollies and ladybugs) but kills wasps and such.
Jason is a better driver than Midnighter but Mid somehow always wins the wheel. Apollo can’t drive to save his life and tries to avoid cars at all costs, even offering to fly the other two. Jason and Mid exchange exasperated looks. Being carried in Apollo’s arms is kind of nice. But neither of them want to be the one who gets stuck sitting on his back. It’s awkward. Especially when they stop and the one on Apollo’s back has to dismount like getting off a horse.
Midnighter and Apollo are both very good cooks. But Jason learned from the best and finds cooking calming and meditative. So they let him handle it unless they’re surprising him.
Jason is quickly warming to the others’ more expressive nature. But he still turns bright red when one of them does anything more than hold his hand.
Midnighter is surprisingly chill unless there is an active threat. Apollo likes to keep tabs on both his lovers, just to be safe. And Jason knows they know about the trackers he put on them but they all pretend they have no idea.
The closest thing to a relationship Jason’s ever had is whatever happened with Talia and a rough one-nighter with Kyle. Which is why he’s stunned to learn he’s actually been with more people than Apollo. But Apollo absolutely has more relationship experience than Jason. Quality over quantity. Mid thinks they’re both precious and innocent little dears.
So. Welcome to another of my extremely rare ships 😏

Some Thanks, and What’s Next
All three of my Superbat Reverse Bang fics are now out: A Fine Specimen, Double Date, and The Signal. I had a great time working with both of my artists, and their work was a great inspiration. That said, I also have to thank my absolutely massive stack of betas who helped me get these fics out in a readable manner: SusieCarter, Kalech, NerdieKatie, CherFleur, PolkaDottedSheep, and several more.
That said, that was by far the biggest fandom commitment I had going. I’m writing for the NSFW Dick Grayson Zine, but that work is done so it’s just a matter of waiting for preorders. I’ve also signed up for the DCU Rarepair Exchange, starting in August.
The Banned Together Bingo is back, but it’s a matter of time for if I get back to it. December tends to have a lot of exchanges, and I absolutely love exchanges.
--
You might have noticed I’ve been a bit slow as of late - I’ve been sick, although I’m hoping to get back on task now. We’ll see how I do, either way. I just finished Last Days of the Justice League, and my priorities are as follows:
Finishing Start Fresh: I floundered a bit as I tried to figure out the direction for the part after this, but now that I’ve got a decent outline it’s full steam ahead. I estimate maybe 40 chapters on this, but it’s hard to say so early on. After this, I estimate two more parts for MTBAF.
The second part of Walking on Eggshells: Bruce has a lot to figure out, to say the least. I’ll be Bruce/Slade, with Dick, Ollie, and Alfred as supporting cast.
Some more Owlverse: I have quite a bit planned for this, but it’s not super high priority.
An unposted Bruce/Bane post-AK fic: I’ve wanted to write this for ages and just haven’t gotten around to it.
That’s everything I have at least something written for. My hope is to get back to the old chapter-a-day schedule and maintain some kind of consistency. Thanks to everyone for being patient in the almost two weeks since I last updated Start Fresh!

Writing Plans - May 2020
Oh boy, it’s May. Time seems to be going really fast and really slow at the same time. For me, April raced by!
I wanted to do a meta post explaining what I’ve got in the pipeline and what I’ll be writing moving forward. This doesn’t count short oneshots and drabbles that come up where they may... just the longer stuff.
More MTBAF:
Starting today (May 1st), MTBAF is off hiatus. This will be part 16, but it’s an outsider POV and intended to be a bit more... jumping in friendly since the series is so long. It’s going to focus heavily on some characters in the family who haven’t gotten as much screen time, in particular Damian and Thomas.
Once this part’s done, the next part is most likely going to be a series of interconnected oneshots from different POVs to catch up on what everyone else is doing.
Lots of Superbat:
I’m a participant in the Superbat Reverse Bang! While I can’t say too much about the projects I have in mind, I can give some tantalizing details.
I’m writing three projects, all of which focus on Bruce/Clark as a pairing. One’s pwp with a dash of story and intended to be mostly canon, one’s a historical action-adventure, and the last one is an AU mystery. Combined, they’re past 80k words!
Two are already finished writing, but the third will continue being written behind the scenes throughout may. I had originally planned to have it done, but... well, you know how things get.
I’ll have a posting date at the end of may (which I’ll reblog here and mention over in the discord), and more teases after that. These will be posted as complete fics, so you’ll be able to read the whole thing the day it goes live!
Banned Together Bingo:
I’m planning on signing up for the Banned Together Bingo. That said, this is a prolonged thing - it won’t be done in may and will mostly be used as a distraction from other, longer projects.
Other Projects:
I have a lot of ideas and projects sitting in the works, but MTBAF takes up a huge chunk of my writing time and as such they’ve kind of fallen to the backburner.
Big projects which I’ve got at least something written down for:
A Batman Universe BruSlade project, inspired by the part in issue six where they end up in a world without Batman, and then Bruce ends up on a first name basis with Slade.
A Post Arkham Knight BaneBru. Yep, it’s a weird rarepair, but I’ve got my idea and I’m running for it. Intended to be like, 15k? Not a super long one.
A Dick Grayson Rarepair Oneshot. I’m participating in the NSFW Dick Grayson Zine! My project is already in the works, but is going to focus on a rarepair. I’ve also partnered with an artist for this, which I’m very excited about. Final submissions aren’t until August, so this one’s still a ways out.
As always, my askbox is open if you’re not sure what the status of a project is.

Author Meme
Tagged by @braingray​
Author name: Romiress
Fandoms you write for: Currently? DC. Previously my big one was Ajin, but simply by sheer size DC is going to beat 
Where you post: AO3
Most popular one shot: By hits: Unconventional Needs (Superbat) By kudos: Unconventional Needs By bookmarks: Unconventional Needs By comments: Unconventional Needs
Most popular multi-chapter: By hits: Bury Your Sons (Arkhamverse Dadstroke) By kudos: Bury Your Sons By bookmarks: Bury Your Sons By comments:  After It's Over (Part 7, after Bury Your Sons)
Favorite story you wrote: Beyond the obvious ‘giant Arkham universe which I love with all my heart’, I am secretly really attached to The Last Dance, my ‘Father Todd saves the Arkham Knight’ one-shot.
Story you were nervous to post: His Talon - it’s always pretty nerve wracking writing something inspired by someone else’s work, because... what if they don’t like it? Add in some squicky tags and you never know how it’ll land.
How do you choose your titles: Tends to be the absolute first thing that pops into my head when I think about the fic, because if I don’t take the first thing I’m going to spend hours obsessing over it.
Do you outline: Not at all. I tend to have quick notes of things I’d like to see pop up, but I only outline when I’m in the last 10% of a fic. 
Complete: 126. Of those, about 37 are DC related.
In progress: Right now I’m working on Part Nine of More to Being a Father,  Let Yourself Fall Ill. 
Coming soon: It’s EXCHANGE SEASON, baby! I’ve got at least five fics either complete or in progress you can expect to show up around mid to late December. Beyond those, I have a Bruce/Bane post-Arkham-Knight fic, and a JayJoey Sugar Daddy AU that are at least partially written and waiting for me to finally finish with the MTBAF universe.
Do you accept prompts: I do! They tend to get added to the pile, but sometimes a really good prompt takes me when I’m in a lull.
Upcoming story you are most excited to write: One of the prompts for the Robin Christmas Exchange has absolutely tickled my interest and I am slowly dying at the fact that I’m not writing it. I can’t say much, but I can say that it’s for a ship with less than ten fics total... 👀
Going to tag @scandalsavagefanfic @dicktofen @gavotteandgigue @fanfictionolivia @openthingsatrandom aaaand anyone else I missed.

you seem to do ~1k word long chapters every time is that intentional?
1k was my ‘standard’ for a long time, but it tends to vary quite a bit. Later parts of MTBAF got 2k or even 3k, and a lot of my shorter stuff (including oneshots) can hit 5k. For me, I tend to break things up a bit more because that’s how I like to read longer fics personally: in bite size chunks!

Hi! Could you please send me a link to the More To Being A Father discord?
This was anon so I couldn’t, but for those interested, I’ve put together a MTBAF discord. I’ve had some amazing fan content created, and I really wanted to share it with people. You can find it here:

No.3
In your opinion, what’s your best fic?
Smut wise, I think I’m honestly most proud of one of my exchange fics which is like… whew. But beyond the huge advantage of MTBAF and it’s size, I really like The Last Dance, which I wrote as part of the JayxJay challenge. It’s a deeply angsty slow burn but… it’s one I really, really enjoy.
Shoot me a number off the ask meme!
